Waves V-EQ3
3-Band Analog-Modeled Equalizer Plugin
The Natural, Colorful Sound of the 70s
Decades ago, EQ designers working within hardware's limitations would choose a "greatest hits" collection of parameters and controls.
The carefully curated choice of frequencies, slopes, and curves made it easy to dial in the ideal sound - from tracks to masters - within seconds.
The V-EQ3 is true to that ideal, with a spectacularly detailed midrange, rich bass, and bright "air".
This isn't a surgical EQ: its analog accuracy envelops the sound’s body with color and sparkle.
